Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling calling for you and for me
See on the portals he's waiting and watching watching for you and for me

Come home (come home) come home ye who are weary come home
Earnestly tenderly Jesus is calling calling oh sinner come home

Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading pleading for you and for me
Why should we linger and heed not his mercies mercies for you and for me

Come home come home...
[ guitar ]
Hope of the wonderful love he has promised promised for you and for me
Though we have sinn'd he has mercy and pardon pardon for you and for me

Come home come home...
Calling oh sinner come home
